Himsels-Other Warrington News.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-An intimate
friend Of the president says that Mr.. Clsve-
land il much annoyed by the extravagant
stories which have recently been printed in
regard to the expenditures he will be
obliged to incur on his contemplated trip.
''It has been stated" said he, 'that the
president will spend over $40, 900 before he
returns.n The fact of the matter il
that he has simply purchased a regular
full fare ticket for each member of his
party.
1t was his desire to travel as unostenta-
tiously as possible, and he would have pre-
ferred going west on one of the regular ex-
press trains had not their officials dissuaded
him by representations which it must be
allowed are very sensible. The president
Of one Of the roads over which the party Is
to pass explained to Mr.. Cleveland that no
railroad would be justified the risk Of trans
porting him on such a journey as he con-
templates without more safeguards than can
be thrown around him on the ordinary
trains
''The president then suggested that the
special car set apart for him might be at
tached to regular express. This the off,
cials answered by saying that all the ex-
press trains are run on a schedule. which
any delay ON account of a demonstration,
liable to occur at every stopping place,
might seriously interfere with. The rsgu-
lar patrons of the road would be more or
less Inconvenience and should not suffer
the annoyance when it could be 80 easily
prevented. The road under any arrange

prefer to transport the party on special,

GOOD WISHES.

BY GEORGE C. Rowe.
May your shadow never grow less
As the Irishman once remarked;
May you never know the want of fr lend
Nor be pushed out In the dark.
May your JOY be bright as Sunshine,
On a glorious summer day;
For slighted love may you meier repiney
Nor dearly for kindness pay.
May you ever be we'll dressed,
In calico, worsted or silk;
And may you ever be SO blessed
AS to shed no tears for split milk.
May your cup of Joy run over;
And if you must give up,
Friendship or treasure to you dear,
In meekness accept the cup.
May all your plans succeed,
Especially if there right;
And happiness ever be your rssed,
Your pathway e'er be bright.
May you be free from tricks,
And a toast the Fenian gave
May you live to eat the hen that picks
The grass upon your grave.

BALTIMORE ELECTIONS.
Thousands of Fraudulent Votes said to
have been Cast.
BALTIMORE. MD.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 81.
The independant democrats of Baltimore
assert that they have evidence that more than
600 fraudulent votes were cast yesterday,
while the republican leaders say the figures
will reach 10000. The German democrats,
on the other hand, explain the increased
majority by the popularity of their candidate
and there may be something in this, as he
ran ahead of his ticket The reformers elect
10 councilmen-a gain of six over the last
elections. 1t is thought that there are
enough regular democrats to be found in the
body who will be willing to operate against
the ring and prevent the passage of pet
schemes. The present mayor elect has four
times before been elected to the same office.
His majority over ID. E. Bartlett the reform
candidate, is 4,S00, or more than double the
majority received by the present democratic
mayor two years ago
The reformsrs say they will go to work on
the State election with redoubled energy.
There was considerable trouble in the
tough wards, the most serious being a MUIR
der in the 18th ward. Edward DAILY, dem
ocrat, was shot and killed by Edward Allen,
an independent democrat, in a quarrel.
